TESTIMONIALS

Joey Pedroza, San Diego

Joey Pedroza, a software developer from San Diego, decided to diversify his income in 2022 by returning to the real estate market after having avoided the sector since the 2008 crisis.
Using the BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), Pedroza acquired several properties but faced difficulties obtaining financing from banks for distressed properties. After discovering Sara Weldon’s videos on TikTok, he became interested in using business credit thru capital stacking instead of personal credit for his real estate investments, and was approved for $150,000 in credit, allowing him to make down payments on four houses instead of one.

With this credit and the help of bridge loans from Trufinco, Pedroza was able to finance the mortgages and the necessary renovations to rent out the properties. Thanks to his success with this approach, he now advises other investors on using business credit thru capital stacking to acquire investment properties, showing that with the right tactics, more people can access the real estate market and fulfill their dreams of becoming property owners.

Ben & Melissa Wilbourn, Englewood, CO

Ben and Melissa Wilbourn, residents of Englewood, Colorado, owned an investment property in Breckenridge that they used as a short-term rental on Airbnb. However, when they tried to acquire more properties, their personal credit, tied up with the debt from the Breckenridge house, prevented them from obtaining traditional financing. With no other options, they considered selling their profitable property, but everything changed when Ben discovered Sara Weldon’s videos on TikTok, where she explained how to use business credit to manage real estate investments.

 

With the help of Trufinco, the Wilbourns created an LLC to transfer the debt from their property to business credit, improved their personal credit score, and kept the profitable property. Now, they are on a new financial path, using business credit to acquire new properties. Melissa reflects on overcoming financial fear and learning approaches they hadn’t known before, showing that there are safe and viable ways to do business, even if they are not the ones traditionally taught.
